Josh Kelly - Best prospect in the world? (name a better one?)

[smashup]

I'm firmly in the don't run before you can walk club, and have experienced enough last fence falls and enough busted flushes over the years to not get carried away by anyone (basically i'm a pessimistic cunt), however, Kelly reminds me of the breathtaking superduper young talents of the past - Roy, Calzaghe, Floyd, Naz

If you don't know who he is you will soon.

His footwork is INSANELY good and gives him the angles to throw those Naz/RJJ type punches plus gives him a Loma style defence

Great prospect agreed and his footwork alone sets him a bit higher than the other Josh.... Taylor.

There's a good argument for both i think and they both should be nailed on belt holders sooner or later

No doubt a top prospect. Is he a better prospect then Ryan Garcia?

Really looking forward to the fight tomorrow, Molina is no mug and if hes coming to win we should have a cracking fight. Kelly is as short as 1/50 to win this fight which looks crazy short to me.

you got on board quick.

How bout Bin Lu, decent but way too early to tell, but going for the WBA Light-flyweight title in only his 2nd fight, against undefeated Carlos Canizales 20-0-1 (16), is pretty ballsy.

True.

He's still a bit raw (Matias), but he's got serious power and it looks like the rest can be worked on. I might be a bit biased in jumping on that bus so quick.

Bin Lu I know nothing about. Seems a bit "Loma-nesque" in fighting a comparative veteran in only his 2nd fight.

The kid looked really good against a tough and decent, but overmatched opponent. Beautiful combinations to secure a bit of a hometown stoppage. His opponent was never in the fight though to be fair.

Josh Kelly's footwork is not better than Josh Taylors. His upper body reflexes are better than Taylors but his footwork from a technical standpoint certainly ain't. And just to let you know boxers who have sparred both say Taylor's better.

Sorry, don't want to go over the top, but these combos reminded me of Leonard.

Next stop is David Avanesyan, however, they were waffling about Khan. Now obviously Khan is never interested in the fight but it's time for that level (faded world class name).

Those hooks are vicious, Adam Booth says he'd stick him in with Khan or Brook next no problem.
Really wanna see him moved along and thrown in the deep end.

He looked brilliant didn't he? We are so spoilt with the amount of talent that is currently around.

That wasn't even a keep busy fight. He's contracted for a certain number of fights a year and that was one to make up the numbers. He's got one more fight this year and it's on to bigger and better things. Turns out a mate of mine knows his dad really well. Sunderland is like a fucking village.
